Everyone's got a workout of their own—your "go-to" routine. But is your routine good enough? We asked our Men's Fitness Facebook friends if they had a killer routine to share and subject to the scrutiny of our readers. The big catch? Our team of training experts also review it, critique it and tweak it if necessary.

Expert Assessment

Pros: "First, you have a very detailed plan that includes rep ranges, rest periods and methods to progress from week to week. That type of planning ultimately leads to success. You also have some great movements in your exercise selection including deadlifts, turkish get-ups, push ups, goblet squats as well as the kettlebell clean and press and snatch. I am a big fan of all of those. Finally, you’ve set some goals as to what you’d like to achieve from your program. You’d be amazed at how many people leave out that critical component."

Cons: "You are thinking in terms of 'days' as opposed to an overall program. You have a lifting day, you have a kettlebell day, you have an interval day and you have a distance cardio day. This lack of focus leads to less than optimal results. You are also leaving some of your most demanding lifts, such as the deadlift and kettlebell snatch for the end of the workout when you are most fatigued. That can result in compromised performance or injury. And your weight training days seem to have a bit of a random quality to them mixing different rep ranges, throwing cardio intervals in the middle of strength training supersets and relying on some haphazard exercise pairings."

Comments: "While you have done a good job of goal setting, your trying to chase too many training effects in one program. Focus on getting stronger for one phase (4 weeks to 8 weeks) then developing strength endurance for a phase and then developing aerobic abilities in yet another phase. Going after one strength/fitness quality at a time will yield much greater results. Your program reads as the standard “I want to get good at everything all at once” which ultimately leads to getting better at nothing. And while I’m a fan of planks and bridges, you are spending too much training time on what you are calling the 'ab set.' Your abs will get plenty of training if you include heavy deadlifts, squats, pull-ups and kettlebell movements. Again, you have some nice thoughts here, but you are suffering from training program design ADD. Get some focus and overhaul this program."
